Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this phase 3 study is to determine if subcutaneous velcade is non-inferior to intravenous velcade when administered in combination with low-dose dexamethasone in chinese refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (r/rMM) patients. The study will assess the overall response rate after 4 cycles of velcade and dexamethasone administration.

• Plans to undergo a stem cell transplant prior to progression of disease on this study, that is, these participants should not be enrolled in order to reduce disease burden prior to transplant

• Is known to be infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C

• Had myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment or has New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or clinically significant conduction system abnormalities

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Overall Response Rate After 4 Cycles of Velcade Treatment	ORR defined as the proportion of participants who achieve either complete response [CR], very good partial response [VGPR], or partial response [PR], according to the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Participants with CR, VGPR, or PR that is unconfirmed in Cycle 4 but confirmed in the next response assessment will be included as CR, VGPR or PR, respectively.	12 weeks (after 4 cycles; each cycle is of 3 weeks)
Secondary	Complete Response (CR) and Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) after 4 cycles	CR and VGPR defined as the proportion of participants who achieve either complete response [CR] or very good partial response [VGPR], according to the IMWG criteria, after 4 cycles of Velcade treatment. Participants with CR or VGPR that is unconfirmed in Cycle 4 but further confirmed in the next response assessment will be included.	12 weeks (after 4 cycles; each cycle is of 3 weeks)
Secondary	Overall Response Rate (ORR) after 8 cycles	ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve either CR, VGPR, or PR according to the IMWG criteria, after 8 cycles of Vd treatment. Participants with CR, VGPR or PR that is unconfirmed in Cycle 8 but further confirmed in the next response assessment will be included.	24 weeks (after 8 cycle; each cycle is of 3 weeks)
Secondary	Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progressive disease/disease progression (PD), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier. Participants who have not progressed and are alive on the cut-off date for analysis will be censored at the date of the last clinical assessment of response.	Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
Secondary	One-year survival rate	One-year survival rate is defined as survival rate at 1 year after randomization. If a participant is alive or the vital status is unknown, then data will be censored at the date that the participant is last known to be alive.	1 year after last patient randomization
Secondary	Time to response	Time to response is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of a confirmed CR, VGPR, or PR. Participants without response (CR/VGPR/PR) will be censored either at PD or at the last clinical assessment of response.	Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
Secondary	Time to progression (TTP)	Time to progression is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of PD. Participants who have not progressed will be censored at the date of the last clinical assessment of response.	Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
Secondary	Duration of response (DOR)	Duration of response is defined as the time from the date of first documentation of a confirmed CR, VGPR, or PR (overall cycles) to the date of first documented PD. Responders without PD will be censored at the date of the last clinical assessment of response.	Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
Secondary	Time to best response	Time to best response is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first evaluation of the overall best response (CR/VGPR/PR) to treatment. Participants without response (CR/VGPR/PR) will be censored either at PD or at the last clinical assessment of response.	Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
Secondary	Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)	Drug concentration vs. time profile following the 4th dose in Cycle 1 and derived Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter Cmax will be assessed. Cmax is the observed maximum plasma concentration, taken directly from the plasma concentration-time profile.	Cycle 1 of Day 1, Day 11 to Day 14
Secondary	Area Under the Plasma ConcentrationTime Curve From Time 0 to Last Observed Quantifiable Concentration AUC [0-last]	Drug concentration vs. time profile following the 4th dose in Cycle 1 and derived Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter AUC [0-last] will be assessed. AUC [0-last] is the area under the plasma-concentration versus time curve from time 0 to the time of last quantifiable time point, calculated by linear trapezoidal summation.	Cycle 1 of Day 1, Day 11 to Day 14
Secondary	Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)	Drug concentration vs. time profile following the 4th dose in Cycle 1 and derived Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter Tmax will be assessed. Tmax is the time when Cmax is observed, taken directly from the plasma concentration-time profile.	Cycle 1 of Day 1, Day 11 to Day 14
Secondary	Number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events and Serious Treatment-Related Adverse Events	Number of Participants with adverse events will be assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), Version 4.0.3 and also vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, local injection site tolerability, and electrocardiograms (ECGs) will be assessed.	Maximum up to 4 years 7 months
